Matthew de Zoete: Colour Films

A singer songwriter from
a rural area just out of Hamilton, Matthew de Zoete, had a very clear concept
when recording songs for his third album, Colour Films. A completion of eleven
cinematic songs was crafted in just 10 days, in which each song tells a story.
Completed by the producer, Les Cooper, (Meaghan Smith and Jill Barber), Zoete
is now ready to present it to Canadian the audience after a 3 month European
release tour early this year.

The first single from the
album, Good Life, kicks off with a
heart-felt mellow love song. Followed by lost at dawn, which emits a
plaintive tone of giving up with the chorus lyric, repeatedly citing
" I don't wanna feel tomorrow." Other tracks, such as Criminal and Going Nowhere stood up after a couple of listens. It gave me a strong
flashback to memories as if I was going through a slideshow of pictures
along with melodic triggers.

Zoete has recently worked
on a video of Good Life with Southern
Souls. Check it out.

Matthew de Zoete will be
performing at the Central on July 6th with his full band.
